Wesley was arrested at the Bell Tower Inn after several occupants of neighboring rooms complained of a cannabis smell. Centralia Police say they recovered 60 grams of cannabis in 23 individual packages. If released on bond, Wesley was ordered to undergo random drug testing.

A 42-year-old Salem man faces a drug charge following a weekend traffic stop. Darrell Donoho of Lowery Lane was charged with possession of under five grams of methamphetamine. Bond was set at $10,000. Donoho was also ticketed for driving under the influence, having a defective windshield and improper turn signal.
